The change is only to the staging portion, the remainder of the ordinance is unchanged.
Tell your family and friends to send it also, the Supervisors need to hear from us.

In Case You Didn't Know...
It’s a matter of record. The Supervisors expressed reservations about the workability of OHV Ordinance #3973 at its adoption hearing over three years ago. But, they heard no opposition at that time so they agreed to give it a one year trial to see how it would fly! (Video available from Clerk of the Board)

Thank you one and all!!
It’s because of you; your appearance at the revisiting hearing (8/21/2007) and your sustained effort and commitment to this cause that the County’s 1st and 3rd district Supervisors are able to propose that the County drop the staging permit requirement from the OHV ordinance. HURRAY! HURRAY!
YOUR hard work has brought us to… …near victory.
Supervisors Mitzelfelt and Derry will present the change to the rest of the Board… …soon (maybe January, maybe sooner).
Unfortunately I was not with the group of folks that created the SB County ordinance 3973 furthermore five anti OHV members and two businessmen paid to be there does not make a stakeholder committee. The two meeting held to create this travesty was not long and hard enough. When a highly vocal small group get together and undermine my American constitutional right to assemble on my own property I must raise an objection. Basically the ordinance says 4 things: 1 you can’t ride on a private property without written permission, this is problematic for property owners but OK no sweat. 2.

Friends of Giant Rock find ordinance change acceptable.In August of 2006 the San Bernardino County Supervisors enacted OHV Ordinance 3973. After hearing many arguments against the staging permit, which requires a $155 permit from the county applied for four to six weeks in advance by property owners who would have more than nine persons at their property for the purpose of riding an OHV, The supervisors agree that personal property rights and invasion of privacy may be an issue and agreed to look more deeply into the validity of a staging permit requirement for individual family’s use of private property.
